Dear Sir,
Your letter of the 25 th enclosing The within was rec d ? the same day & herin returned Ex d - could you still The name of Mr. Ingalls cannot be found on the Pension Roll I think this is not the correct way spelling his name as I am informed his papers were made out in the name of Mr. English & this is the way he has always spelt his name - I presume he stood recorded in the War Department under the Alphabet E g . - I have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the old man Since your last request I have always been knowing to his drawing a Pension from his first application but the first year I do not precisely recollect but I think about 1820. or before that date and he has always drawn his money since annually at the N. S. Branch Bank State Aaron Read Esq has been empowered for several years past to draw his money & yet continues his asset - Yours Very Respectfully N. G. Bates
